Milan judge orders further investigation into Pietro Sanua murder
A Milan judge rejected a request to close the investigation into Pietro Sanua’s murder and ordered further inquiries.
Sanua, who was involved in market workers’ issues, was killed in Corsico in 1995.
The case concerns a dispute over market-stall assignments, and investigators are examining possible links to organised crime.
The judge said investigators should check whether Vincenzo Ferraro had access to a car seen near the murder scene and search for a missing record of a police pursuit.
They must also carry out new tests on a blood trace found at the scene.
Ferraro and Antonio Mancuso remain under investigation, and the inquiries will continue to look for those responsible.
